Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office Building,

Forest Service

    Title: Good Neighbor Agreements with State Cooperators.
    OMB Control Number: 0596--NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The Forest Service (FS) is authorized under 
the Agricultural Act of 2014, Public Law 113-79 section 8206 and the 
amendment to the original Colorado version of the Good Neighbor 
Authority in the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2014, Public Law 113-76 
section 417 to perform specific activities in cooperation with State 
partners. These authorities encourage the FS to enter into Good 
Neighbor Agreements with the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 
and State Forestry Agencies to carry out authorized forest, rangeland, 
and watershed restoration and protective services when similar and 
complementary projects are being performed on adjacent State or private 
lands, and on and off National Forest System (NFS) lands. http://www.fs.fed.us/farmbill/gna.shtml. The FS will maintain its land 
management responsibilities for all projects that take place on NFS 
lands.
    Need and Use of the Information: Good Neighbor Agreements are 
considered cooperative agreements which permit the FS to work 
collaboratively with willing State agencies. FS will use a combination 
of agreement templates and federal financial assistance forms. Required 
information will be collected in the agreements, project type, project 
scope, financial plan, statement of work, standard supporting 
documentation for the activity, and cooperator's business information. 
Without the collected information the FS would not be able to create, 
develop, and administer the Good Neighbor Agreements. The Agency would 
be unable to develop or monitor projects, make payments, or identify 
financial and accounting errors.
    Description of Respondents: States and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
    Number of Respondents: 51.
    Frequency of Responses: One time.
    Total Burden Hours: 200.
